Electrosex and what you should know beforehand

What is electrosex? Also known as erotic electrostimulation. It is the electrical stimulation of the nerves, often used in erogenous areas for sexual stimulation. You can use two types of “toys” with electrosex, the TENS unit or a Violet Wand; electrosex is also known as estim.

There is nothing like a bit of electrosex to put the spark back into your sex life. However, it is best always to remember that no matter how experienced you are with electrosex, you are still playing with electricity which is risky and can pose dangers if you aren’t careful.

You should always confirm and be sure of certain things before starting a scene with electrosex.

 Is your equipment set up correctly and still safe?

Always give your equipment a once-over; if you use a Tens unit, make sure there are no frayed wires or odd kinks in the cable, your electrically powered toys should always be grounded. If you are playing with a Violet Wand, make sure the electrodes are correctly attached. Never play near water; you are playing with electricity, and shit happens.

Have you negotiated the scene?

Always negotiate before a scene; you need to be sure what your partner is comfortable with and enthusiastically consents to everything in the scene. Agree on a safeword or the traffic light system so that both partners feel safe. This is also a great time to give your electrosex toy a test run before the scene so that you and your partner know what intensity you are both comfortable with beforehand.

Medical concerns and history.

This is significant; you need to discuss all health concerns and previous medical health issues beforehand. If they have any heart problems, metal plates, or even a pacemaker, electrosex could possibly kill them. Always be aware of allergies or seizures they might have experienced in the past; if there are any concerns, it might be best to move onto another type of play. I recommend having an emergency kit nearby just in case something should go wrong, as they say rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Ensure you remove all jewelry and piercings before play, as this might give you more on a jolt than you negotiated. Electrosex is meant to be below the belt, so avoid playing near your partner’s heart as these are no-go areas in electrosex.
